Real time assessment
gives educators a new tool

Clark County School District in Nevada wanted a solution that would use assessment to benefit classroom instruction and take that knowledge to the next level.

The superintendent says the INFORM® Learning System’s instructional data management system “allows district administrators to use assessment data in their jobs. Before, we were not able to look at our subgroup populations and know specifically how they were performing, but now we can. We can see how schools are performing during the year, and not just at the time of a high-stakes test.”

Assessment you can trust

Do you have easy access to high quality items?

The INFORM® Learning System provides assessment you can trust to:

  • Accurately measure student progress.
  • Improve reliability with high quality item banks.
  • Save time with an automated delivery platform.
  • Easily create, manage and evaluate test items.
  • Optimize student achievement with targeted instruction.

World-class items from the ETS® Formative Assessment Item Bank ensure that assessment will be effective and aligned to standards:

  • Access more than 54,000 test items aligned to state standards.
  • Create district benchmark assessments.
  • Create school and classroom-based testing.

The INFORM® Learning System supports all phases of the learning cycle and unites everyone involved in the process:

  • Assessments are effective for both assessment for learning and assessment of learning.
  • Tools for collaboration as well as relevant reports support assessment at the school and district levels.
  • Communication tools allow parents and students to be involved in both assessment and setting learning goals.

Data integration for seamless transfer of decision-quality data

The INFORM® Learning System helps educators create and administer tests and manage and use data to inform instructional practices. A standards-based approach brings data directly to the desktop computers of classroom teachers and school leaders.

This allows educators to pace instruction, align materials to state standards over the school year, create formative assessments and generate district, school, class and student reports that are meaningful, actionable, and easy to use.
